Spring has just begun and Dodger Nation is already showing up in droves to catch a glimpse of the "Boys in Blue." The above photo of a couple of Dodger "fanaticos" was taken by Dodger photographer Jon SooHoo/LA Dodgers 2015. Go here to check out more pics of his from yesterday.

"Fernando already completed his own great career. Now it's up to me to
do what I can,'' he said. "I don't know if I'll ever measure up to what
he did, but I have to put in the work. I know about the comparisons, but
I don't feel any pressure to live up to what he accomplished. I'll have
my own career and hopefully it's a successful one as well.''

Topps has just released a Retro Spring Training 10" x 14" print available directly from them online. A pic is on the right. Go here to check them out. A version numbered to 49 copies is available at $24.99. I think this would look great with a bunch of signatures.

Eric Stephen at True Blue LA shares what appears to be the first Dodger prank of the young season, here. JP Howell did the ol' "hid all his stuff" prank on new Dodger pitcher and friend Joel Peralta.

“I just want to soak up as much as I can,” Seager said. “Just observe is basically what I’m trying to do.”

I don't even know why I'm linking to this. It's just plain stupid... And slightly entertaining... Even if Tommy wasn't that entertained. Via TMZ, "Tommy Lasorda Nods Off at Hot Burlesque Show."

Old friend alert. Former Dodger Nick Punto will not be playing ball this season, but may resume his career the following year, via Steve Adams at MLB Trade Rumors. Also, Dan Haren showed up for the Marlins Spring Training in Florida, via the Marlins on twitter. I guess all of that talk several months back about not wanting to play for them was just posturing.

“There’s nothing like wearing a Dodger jersey. There’s nothing like it in sports. I don’t care that I’ve never been anywhere else. I don’t care. There’s nothing like wearing a Dodger jersey.” -- A.J. Ellis
